A seemingly never-ending string of large scale data breaches across all sectors of the economy and government have had devastating affects on countless individuals — and irreparably damaged organizations of all kinds. It’s been proven that privileged users, and the accounts and credentials they use, are a crucial element in conducting a successful attack. But it’s possible to protect those users and stop data breaches in their tracks.

In this webcast, we’ll explain how Xsuite and privileged identity management can stop attackers at multiple points in the data breach lifecycle, preventing damage and disruption. Join us to learn:

- Who are privileged users and why are they important?
- How do attackers exploit privileged users and their credentials to carry out breaches?
- See a hands-on demonstration of Xsuite and how it can manage, control, and protect privileged users and credentials and your business assets.

Joel Daly, Founder and EVP of Sales of HOSTING will discuss ways healthcare CIOs can leverage new business models to realize increased technology efficiencies, enable information-driven decisions and improve patient service. This session will draw upon real world case studies from Uber and the nation’s leading behavioral health organization to illustrate how healthcare CIOs can learn from other industry players to successfully meet today’s challenges including: management of data convergence, HIPAA compliance, mobile (BYOD) integration and securing protected health information (PHI) from sophisticated cyberattacks and breaches – all while meeting high patient expectations and adhering to best practices prescribed by the IHI Triple Aim.

With enterprise cloud adoption on the rise, CIOs are faced with creating a cloud strategy that will deliver greater business value and innovation. And while most are turning to hybrid cloud, this model does not factor in legacy infrastructure or give business users the unified experience they demand. The true solution is an integrated, multi-sourced operating model called Hybrid IT. The 451 Group VP of Research William Fellows shares why moving to the Hybrid IT model is the most complete approach and best practices for selecting the process and tools to get started.

IT spend has become one of the largest budget line items in companies today. IT organizations worldwide spent over $4 trillion dollars in 2013 alone. Despite the growth in IT spend, many IT organizations do not have the capability to clearly and easily articulate where that spend is going, how it correlates to the services they are delivering or what value the business is realizing from the services.

In order to stay competitive, businesses are seeking ways to optimize and align future IT investment decisions with the strategic direction of the company. By making all of the costs of running IT transparent, IT can change the way business units consume IT resources, drive down total enterprise IT costs and focus on IT spending that delivers real business value.

Join Jerry Wertelecky as he discusses:

• Facilitate collaboration between IT and Finance to increase visibility into the costs, utilization and operations of all IT Services

• Leverage a deep understanding of what drives IT costs and performance to improve scenario planning capabilities and make better IT decisions

• Provide IT cost and consumption data to business owners in the form of a “Bill of IT” to more effectively communicate the value of IT to the business.

Running Enterprise IT is probably more complicated now than it has ever been. Many organisations are embarking on transformation projects to take advantage of the modern hybrid world. But with all that complexity how do you make sure your transformation is a success? Join HP to take a look at some of the areas you need to be considering when transforming your environment to achieve the better service levels and efficiencies you are striving for. We’ll talk about everything from discovering interdependencies through automation and changing the way you manage your new environment.
